The rooms were nicely decorated but the walls are paper thin we could hear the actual conversation in room 2 next to us. There was a quirky light hanging above the table that we hunted high and low for the switch to turn off only to text the WhatsApp to find it was hiding behind the huge ass tv!

Good location, nice breakfast, a bit odd layout
This hotel is in a nice location, close to the V&A Waterfront but also not far from downtown. The hotel has a very eccentric layout; there are floors, half-floors, quarter-floors etc. with steps between them. Also, the rooms are a bit eccentric: there is no room light switch near the bed, only by the door. The breakfast is not buffet-style; you pick one main dish and one beverage. The breakfast quality is quite good. There's a busy atmosphere, with people working on their laptops everywhere. A disadvantage was that my room faced onto a very busy one-lane street, where activity ended after midnight and started (garbage collection and deliveries) very early the next morning. For security reasons, the front of the hotel is barricaded from late evening to morning, so you have to enter from the street behind and go through an office building. (My morning departing Uber was confused.)

What an awesome hotel!
This place was quite the pleasant surprise! Nestled just on the edge of the wharf district, the Old Foundry hotel was clean and welcoming with just a touch of a modern, yet 1930’s feel. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and the walk-in rain shower was amazing. But the best part of this hotel is the staff and the cafe. The staff waited on us hand and foot, and even remembered our breakfast orders from the previous days. Anything we needed and they were on top of it immediately. As for the cafe, the food was incredible. We were especially fans of the French toast and the BLT, both of which were probably the best we’ve ever had. You won’t regret picking the place. A quick 10 minute walk to the water front, or about $4 USD Uber ride.

We booked this hotel as it looked like a lovely place to stay but very quickly it was apparent it was lacking. Our shower in our room leaked all over the floor due to there being no sealant. It was clear this was an ongoing issue as the wooden floor outside was all puckered and nailed down. Staff were not overly helpful about it. There were cockroaches in the room, including on the kitchen surfaces. What they don’t tell you when booking is this hotel is next to a busy road and underneath it is a homeless camp which you have to walk past to enter the hotel before 7pm. After 7pm this entrance is closed and you have to walk through a multi-storey car park to enter the hotel. This hotel is clearly all design and no substance, very little care or helpfulness from the staff.

Enjoyed the daily breakfast and walking to the V&A only took 10-15 minutes so very convenient. Hotel was clean and spacious. One thing to mention was you can hear water pipes when showering which did not bother us one bit.

I love the atmosphere of this place! I felt extremely inside the hotel, however bc of homeless people outside the perimeter we weren’t allowed to walk anywhere, which is the case for most of the city. Too bad since it’s only a 5 min walk to waterfront but Uber was easy and cheap. The food at the bar was fantastic and all the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The water heater/pump is very loud. Overall this is a great place and I would return back.

We came for our honeymoon and had an amazing time. We expected the “presidential” room to be much better than it was. The floors have horrible water damage and you have to leave the windows open at night to escape the smell of mold. The property did not have all of the amenities it listed, such as the golf. And you had to ask for new towels if you wanted them. The staff was nice and it was a 15 min walk to the v and a. Just hoped this would be a nice facility than it was.

Summary: They have roaches. I "stayed" in 2 different rooms due to plumbing issues. Cons: 1. Saw 7 roaches during my stay. I have a video where I captured 2 under wine glasses. Had to unpack my suitcases in the garage when I got home so I didn’t infest my home with roaches. Couldn't make use of the kitchen or eat in my room for fear of attracting more roaches. 2. Bathtubs are gorgeous but dont function. Bathtub in 1st room was clogged and 2nd room was leaking. 3. Because plumbing is connected, the shower in my 1st room didn't drain properly. Shower in 2nd room drained fine. 4. Small homeless encampment outside the hotel gate so the gate is closed at night. Alternate entrance is used after 7pm. Pros: 1. Decor is nice. Rooms look like pictures but couldn't appreciate it over fear of roaches. FYI - rooms are in a co-working building which didnt bother me at all but might some. 2. Location is central. Safe to walk alone during the day. Uber is cheap so ride at night if you are alone. I would spend my money elsewhere.

When we arrived we were expecting a King or Twin Bed set-up but found a small double, apparently Expedia misrepresent the bed size for a luxury room, so watch out!! Though the property is in a beautiful converted warehouse and is a working concept of hotel and working space, it doesn't fully operate as a functioning hotel. A bit style over substance, open shower into the bedroom (not great when sharing with a friend), sink doesn't have anywhere to put handsoap or toothbrush instead constantly leaning over the toilet!! Difficult to get hold of additional towels, ladies ask way in advance of a shower, also don't be freaked out by the very noisy plumbing system, not just your room but others too!! Location is great for getting to the waterfront and also mooching to the restaurants in the cape quarter. Overall bit style over substance at the moment, if service standards increased would consider heading back as location is a winner. To note be prepared for post 7pm access through back street car park, defo not safe feeling during load shedding!

Not advisable to stay here
There is a homeless camp apposite the hotel, the people from there would approach and badger us. Made us feel very scared. Hotel states they have a lift, but technicall that is not true, there is no lift in the lobby. One must leave the hotel, walk around it and enter the adjacent building and ask them to open their lift for you which then does stop on some hotel floors. We booked a room with kitchen, but there was zero kitchen equipment. Reception said they will lend us some one request. No support offered by the hotel or the Hotels.com team, only a £10 voucher as a goodwill gesture for the trauma.
